Published
Chauncy Glover — a local Los Angeles news anchor — died from acute intoxication by a pair of drugs including methamphetamine … TMZ has learned.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner released a statement Wednesday determining Glover died from “acute intoxication by the combined effects of chloroethane and methamphetamine.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, chloroethane is a colorless, flammable gas used to numb the skin before piercings and to treat sports injuries. It’s unclear how Glover came into contact with it.
The death has been ruled an accident, but the full medical examiner’s report won’t be ready until the end of next month, the press release states.
Glover — a major face of KCAL-TV, CBS’ Los Angeles affiliate — was found unresponsive in his home on Election Night, November 5, 2024 … and he was pronounced dead just after midnight on Nov. 6.
